As cost calculation cannot be done via the Azure pricing calculator for Standard web tests, how can the cost be determined ? For instance, if I have three URLs and set a frequency of every five minutes with five test locations.

    Hello $@chin Thanks for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A.

    Estimating the cost of Standard web tests in Azure requires considering factors like data transfer and the complexity of your web pages. While there isn't a direct cost calculator, you can estimate based on your test configuration. Since Standard web tests have a limit of 100 tests per Application Insights resource, and there's no separate charge for the tests themselves, costs mainly come from data transfer. For simple web pages, data transfer per test will be lower compared to complex pages with rich media. Start with fewer test locations and optimize your web pages to minimize data transfer. Utilize Azure Cost Management tools to monitor usage and optimize costs. Remember to consider the overall cost of your Application Insights resource, including storage and queries. For further details, refer to Microsoft's Azure Monitor service limits and pricing details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/service-limits

    If you found the solution helpful, consider accepting it.
